The purpose of this meeting is to conduct pre-committee scrutiny of the Criminal Justice (Aggravation by Prejudice) Bill 2016 which is being sponsored by Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin. I extend a very warm fáilte to her to the discussion on her Bill. The format of the meeting is that I will invite Deputy O'Loughlin to brief the committee on the Bill and I will then open it up to a general discussion and questions and answers. I invite Deputy O'Loughlin to introduce the Bill.
